Help to purchase iPhone 3G as a gift

Hello everyone I hope not to have been wrong section, but are still new and I understand how it works.

However I have one urgent question to which I find no answer, because I read on the Apple Store online you can buy the iPhone 3G as a gift to $ 499 (without contract with AT & T), but I just can not understand how. Someone would be able to help me?

Thanks in advance

I apologize I meant the iPhone 3GS 8GB
However the site says: "2 - Requires new two-year AT & T Wireless service contract, sold separately to qualified customers, credit check required, must be 18 or older.
